title: [The importance of modern research methods with the use photo- and video-documentation used in phoniatric cabinets based at cultural institutions].
abstract: The modern equipment extensively used at present in phoniatric cabinets based at cultural institutions makes it possible visualize the laryngoscopic and laryngostroboscopic features of singers in a variety of situations with the help of videorecording and photographic methods. The objective changes in the larynx revealed by these methods are not necessarily accompanied by complaints of the patients. However, they provide materials for a deeper insight into different forms of phoniatric pathology, create a basis for the revision of the popular views and the development of alternative approaches to the correction of the emerging disturbances. Archivation of these data are of great importance for resolving debatable problems, supporting expert opinions, and addressing issues arising in the course of scientific research. The demonstration of the changes recorded by photo- and video-techniques to the examined singers may be helpful in the work with musicians designed to improve their compliance with the recommendations concerning voice hygiene and treatment of diseases of the vocal apparatus.
